About Kieswerk Aadorf AG
Kieswerk Aadorf AG was founded in 1937 and operates a gravel and concrete plant in Aadorf in the canton of Thurgau. The company extracts gravel and processes it in a closed loop: washing, crushing and screening produce saleable products such as gravel, sand, chippings and crushed stone. At its own concrete plant, ready-mixed concrete, recycled concrete (RC concrete) and specialty concretes are manufactured; in addition, building materials are recycled and recycled aggregates are offered. Customers are mainly construction companies in structural and civil engineering in the region of northern Canton Zurich and Thurgau, including projects for SRF, Energie 360° AG and CH-Bau. Delivery is carried out with the company's own transport fleet. Since 1 January 2016, operations have been managed by Toggenburger AG, Winterthur.
